:howdy: Ya'll~

My name is Randy and I am a new member to this forum. I am retired military and recently have taken over the small family farm from My dad. We have 2 tractors a massey 135 and a Hesston 55-56. I have been trying to find a service manual for the Hesston 55-56. Unfortunately every place I have been on the internet so far has not had one. Does anyone have any suggestions/advice/comments? Who knows? Maybe I can even find some of the parts I want to replace on it also ! lol..... Hey! It could happen lol.

Merry Christmas and Happy new year !

Randy

:MTF_wel2: Randy, good to have you with us .

Try using our Google Custom Search

located in the middle of the page at the top, just type in hesston tractors, it will search only MTF for any information on these machines, and from what I saw when I checked it out there are several pages of threads relating to different tractors, balers, etc. In the meantime, perhaps someone will be along that is familiar with these as well :fing32:.

I tried the google search ... it didnt turn up anything really. Thanks for the idea though! Does anyone else possibly have ideas about where I can get a service manual for a Hesston 55-56 tractor?

You might be able to get it at a Massey Ferguson dealer or AGCO dealer. AGCO still makes Hesston hay equipment so there is a chance you can get it through them.

I could only find the operators manual. Sorry.

heston tractors are all derived from the fiat tractor line, do a search for import tractor parts and there is a great source of info from a supplier on line out of canada,
fiat by the way is now the builder of new holland/caseih,

the little tractor seems to be a more modern version of what they sold under the oliver/allis chalmers line as the 1265/5040, i have this old fiat oliver that is 20 years older than your heston and it is still running well on its original enjine after more than 10000 hours
